The Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee is this week, complete with warm weather, carnival rides, cotton candy, livestock displays and last but not least, the frog jumping competitions.
I will be out there having fun demonstrating (to the best of my ability) how to crochet. We will be in the Becky Thatcher building (my friends will be demonstrating how to knit).
I am going to sit and crochet this fun little lovey blanket.
Daisy Cottage Designs has some gorgeous patterns, click on over and give her a visit.

May 15, 2014 at 7:25 pmNow . . . that’s my idea of a beautiful granny square project! If I didn’t have so many undone projects right now, I’d be heading to the Becky Thatcher Building to learn how to do that from you! I’m sure you’ll be an inspiration to some new crochet artists. Have fun at the frog jump!

May 16, 2014 at 6:56 amIt isn’t as if I don’t have a ton of partly done projects, but one thing nice about having to sit for a few hours a couple days in a row is I should make fabulous progress on this. If my arms don’t cramp up on me. 🙂 When I take a break I will enjoy going to see some livestock, especially the chickens!

May 17, 2014 at 5:43 amPamela, I used to live in Rocklin, CA, back when there was a single streetlight hanging above one of the only intersections in town. I went to Sierra State College (late 70’s) and had a roommate from Angel’s Camp. She took me to the fair the year that we met and I still have the little fridge magnet that I bought there. (It’s still on my fridge, too.) Linda Rondstat was the concert, and I had such a wonderful time that day. Hope you have a fabulous time too! And you’re right – having to sit all day for a couple of days is a perfect time for catching up on handwork! I love to crochet – it’s fun and relaxing!

May 17, 2014 at 5:57 amI was there! Linda Rondstat did a fabulous job. I started my crochet project last night and I shall really enjoy just sitting, yakking with people and crocheting away. I might even finish it. Hmmm, maybe I should take a back up project to start if I finish this one.
